Citing a need for more time to complete revisions to the developer's plans, the Tymber Creek apartments project was issued another continuance by the Ormond Beach City Commission on Tuesday, Feb. 7.
The property owner, VCP Ormond Beach II, LLC, seeks a rezoning of a 19.62 acre property at 36 N. Tymber Creek Road, behind the existing Walgreens on West Granada Boulevard. He is also seeking an issuance of a development order to construct the 300-unit apartment complex.
A public hearing for the development was initially scheduled to be heard at the commission's meeting on
Jan. 24. But Cobb Cole attorney Mark Watts, on behalf of the developer, asked for the item to be continued for two weeks to allow the developer to continue discussions with residents impacted by the proposed apartments.
At the Feb. 7 meeting, Watts made a similar request.
"We haven't had time to go get those revisions done and sit down with the neighborhood and go through them to make sure that it's addressed the concerns that we listed at our last meeting with that group," Watts said.
Watts said that the developer intends to resubmit updated plans with the goal to return before the City Commission at the first meeting in March.
The item will come before the commission with a recommendation to deny by the Ormond Beach Planning Board, a 5-0 vote which took place in December. The board members were concerned about the proposed increase in density; the city's land development code currently allows for 164 units to be constructed on the property.
